HCRP Ballot Security Committee Goes to Austin

Posted by Leigh Evans on March 17, 2015

HCRP's Ballot Security Committee took a trip to Austin this week where Committee Chairman Alan Vera, Ed Johnson, Carol Kitson and Colleen Vera were able to voice the Party's view on legislation dealing with elections and election law. Alan testified in support of Jim Murphy's voter registration residency bill (HB 1096), and argued against a bill to do away with straight party voting, as well as a few Democrat initiatives including one that would force the registrar to include a note with reasons for the rejection to the rejected voter. The committee also showed support for a bill on interstate sharing of voter registration data to prevent voters from voting in more than one state.
